Bailiff’s House

The Mikuláštík bailiff’s house ranks among
the most valuable monuments to Carpathian
culture not just in Zlínsko, but in the entire
region. The bailiff’s house, built in 1748, is
a typical timbered construction with a gallery
in the facade. Housed in the bailiff’s house is
an exhibition on the history of the village,
the surrounding villages and rural life in
Valašsko. Standing at the bailiff’s house
is a statue of Portáš, the work of sculptor
Stanislav Mikuláštík. The village of Jasenná
was famous in the past for woven baskets – circular, not too deep baskets from ribs with
multi-purpose uses in agricultural farmsteads.
In addition to these, simple beds and wooden
spoons from ribs were also manufactured in
the village. Drying in wooden kilns, canning jam
and distilling plum brandy continue to this day.
